Volume 6, Issue 5
As made clear in our previous analyses of the settlement moratorium, settlement construction since November 2009 has by no means been frozen. Indeed, so much construction has been permitted under "exceptions" that the moratorium would have to be extended, with no new loopholes, for at least a year before construction on the ground would actually stop.
Extending the current 10-month settlement moratorium, with no new loopholes or exceptions, is vital to Israel and to peace. Failing to do so will have a devastating impact on efforts to launch successful peace talks and will play into the hands of those who seek to delegitimize Israel. New settlement construction will be seen as a sign that Israel would rather rule over Palestinians than forge peace.
